15. For Factor 1: 1.1 Construction experience under " Additionally, characteristics: C) requires at least (2) projects of waterfront structures. Under subcontractors: key subs may be utilized for (1) project submitted for factor 1.1. as this is the SB pool, Would the government look at reducing the required "waterfront experience" to (1) project ? or allow a key sub to provide (2) projects for factor 1.1 ?

Answer: The requirement for 2 waterfront projects remains unchanged. See amendment language regarding the minimum projects to be performed by the Offeror

16. Per Amendment 0001, in Factor 1 we are required to provide projects with a final preferred contract cost of $6,000,000 to $15,000,000. When the government says that value is “preferred,” will we be evaluated less favorably if projects are valued under $6,000,000?

Answer: The Government prefers projects between $6M to $15M as that is the anticipated average dollar range of task orders for the Pool 2 and Pool 3. Factor 1 does not state a required mininum final contract cost for projects; however, Offerors submitting projects less than $6M may be evaluated less favorable.

Your current project requirements will significantly limit the ability of qualified small businesses to compete on this opportunity.

Answer: As the majority of the projects that will be placed on this contract vehicle within the Tier #3 will be $6M or larger, the Government does not anticipate a change at this time.

18. The solicitation states that, “The Offeror may utilize the experience of a proposed key subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience, on one (1) project submitted for factor 1.1 - construction Factor 1…” Please confirm that we can include the experience of multiple subcontractors.

To better mimic anticipated projects to be proposed for this NMACC, can the Government expand the requirement of "new construction (at least two (2) projects) of waterfront structures" to also encompass construction projects consisting of renovation on waterfront projects that are relevant in size, scope, and complexity? The RFP was revised for the Large Business RFP. Please consider for the Small Business
